They ruled it a fumble but his knee was down

Didn’t see the game but fire Mcclappy 

 

these guys lost by 233 to the raiders last week 

I’m havin trouble blaming mcd for this one being close…two bad fumbles and an INT kept them in the game.  Refs absolutely torpedoed one of our drives that we likely would’ve scored on too.

dude.  You realize we played a team with a backup QB, 3rd string center and missing its top two WRs.  I don’t care how “inspired” they were that is a huge talent mismatch.  Championship teams crush those teams. 

We blew out the Cowboys last week, who blew out the Eagles the week before. The Niners lost in Cleveland to PJ Walker earlier this year.  If Watson were healthy, he’d be on the street right now.

That chargers player not realizing he had a shot at going far saved the game

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Is there anyway we can clinch a playoff spot next week? Not being able to have to win that Dolphin game would be huge.

I can't just deny this, it felt a lot like they were like well we got to showcase our no commercial 4th quarter feature better keep it interesting. Alson what the ***** was with the blown dead muffed kickoff return?

 

You know what was really sad about that Mitch Morse holding call, it erased a great Gabe Davis play and he needs all of those he can get.

I wondered that about the Kickoff return at the time. How the hell is that just a touchback? He didn't indicate a fair catch did he? If not he fielded  it in the field of play!

This game was sloppy because of the players.  Nothing to do with the HC.  Get them prepared but the execution was up and down.

They didn't simplify anything for stick. The dude had all day to pass for 90% of the game. 

Yea oline allowed near unlimited holds and winning the turnover differential by 3 and still losing is honestly pretty crazy

Agee, that was a terrible call. The tripping before that was obvious, but that one, no way. 

I wouldnt even call it obvious it was incidental where player just tripped over Browns leg after he missed block. Ive seen players intentionally put their leg out there snd it not get called

[Utah John]

Well that was NOT FUN.

I’m sure he realized…he was still far away from hitting that hole and you really cut out all your lateral options when you’re running down the sideline

Do you get a boost in the standings by crushing an opponent vs just beating them?

You get a boost in the ESPN weekly rankings, which means a lot to people.

Well yeah, that's kind of how it works when you have playoff seeding the way it's formatted

[CircleTheWagons99]

Defense is finally figuring out howbto close out games. SACK THE QB. Bernard and Oliver getting it done. Love to see it.

Championship teams sneak past mediocre/bad teams playing for just pride pretty often actually. What sets them apart is they do win the games like that, not avoiding those type of games entirely

A kick remains a kick until it is possessed.

What made me have to walk to the kitchen is, after the refs imploded that drive, there was a block in the back right in front of the official at the point of the return… no call. This officiating is just all over the place. It must be exhausting for the players. 

[Bockeye]

Definitely need Epenesa back to collapse the pocket and make some plays.  Never thought I’d say that.
